GENEVA, March 9 —Great Britain's proposal to establish a new judicial sys- tem in Irak, whereby foreigners and na- tives would be placed on the same legal basis, was approved today by the Coun- cil of the League of Nations. The existing agreement grants spe- cial judicial privileges to the citizens of certain states which formerly benefited by capitulations in Turkey and did not voluntarily renounce them before the signature of the treaty of Lausanne in 1923. These privileges include the right | to_have cases tried by British judicial officers, either sitting alone or in com- pany with Irak colleagues. ‘The council, however, raised the point that powers possessing capitulatory privileges must agree to renounce them if the British project is to be estab- lished. A representative of Persia, which has no special rights in Irak, gave his un- qualified support to the British plan. He said that hundreds of thousands of Persians dwell in Irak, which they re- gard as their holy land. He was con- vinced that the placing of all the peo- ple on the same legal footing without discrimination would have excellent ef- fect on the relations between Irak and other Eastern powers.

Mrs. Wurtzbaugh failed to appear in court today, attorney for the defend- ant corporation moved for dismissal, and the plea was granted on Mrs. ‘Wurtzbaugh's failure to cover costs in the case and lack of jurisdiction over the railroads and other corporations in- volved in the action. ‘The suit filed in Georgia was lost, and Mrs. Wurtzbaugh fought through | one court after another until more than tahdou;xl: corporations were involved in e suit, THREE SHIPS NAMED FOR MIDDIES’ CRUISE | T | 800 Members of First and Third| Classes Will Make Trip to Italy.

Banquet Speaker I BISHOP THOMAS SHAHA! Hoover Colleague In Youth Reveals Early Life Events San Domingo Official Tells of President’s Per- severance for Education. BY WILLIAM HARD. William E. Pulllam, our rece: r of customs in the republic of €a.9 Domingo, has been back in Washington attending the inauguration. | He tells a delightfully true anecdote— and parable—about himself and the new President. It runs, so far as this writer can imitate Mr. Pulliam's narra- tive style, as follows: “Mr. Hoover and I were very much alike up to a certain point. We ran parallel. But there came to be a differ- ence. Tl tell it to you. It explains why he is in Washington and why I'm in Santo Domingo. ‘I was born in the Miscissippi Valley. Mr. Hoover was born in the Mississippi Valley. “I went to Oregon. Mr. Hoover went to Oregon. = “1 got to Portland. Mr. Hoover got to Portland. “We were then about 17 years old. 1 heard of the new university at Palo Arl(? in California. Mr. Hoover heard 5 “‘Mr. Hoover determined to take the examination for entrance into it. So “The examiners came to Portland. They displayed the examinations. I looked them over. So did Mr. Hoover. I saw that I could not pass them. Mr. Hoover saw that he, too, could not pass them. “Then came the difference. “Sceing that I could not pass the examinations, I did not take them. Mr. | Hoover, seeing that he could not pass the examinations, took them anyway. “He failed in them. He was not stopped. He went to Palo Alto. He walked on to the campus. He took the examinations again. Still he failed in some of them. He was not stopped. He took them again. He remained and he was graduated. “I got a job pushing a truck. “That's why I'm in Santo Domingo and he's in the White House.” It takes a charming man to tell that story about himself as Mr. Pulliam tells it, and Mr. Pulliam is not only charm- ing but veracious. The story is at every point literally exact. * ok ok ok ‘The Mexican troubles have revived in Washington many stories of Latin American revolutions. Returned travel- ers from Nicaragua relate an illuminat- ing incident which happened at a din- ner party given by President Diaz. Some American present expressed sur- prise that Nicaraguans should take elections so serfously, and said: “Why, in our country, if we Republi- cans lose an election, we don't despair. We know that we'll get back into office sometime. We just rest and amuse our- selves in the interval.” “The interval is different in Nica- ragua,” sald President Diaz. “It hurts much more.” He leaned down and pulled up a trou- sers leg to show his ankle. He satripped his sock from it. On his ankle there was a scar of an amazingly ugly en- circling bruise. “That's where I was tied to a log by & chain for several months the last time I was unfortu- nate enough to fail to win office in Nicaragua,” he said. Various members of President Diaz's cabinet, sitting about the dinner table, then showed the same sort of physical reminiscence of political failure in their country. They all had enduring bruises around their ankles. Moral: Al Smith has some luck after all. Rk k% ‘That Nicaraguan incident made this writer think of an extremely able retort once made to him by Ambassador Ferrara of Cuba. This writer had expressed to the Ambassador his amazement that Presi- dent Machado in Cuba should take such repressive measures against polit- ical opponents. The public meetings of those opponents had been broken up by President Machado’s agents. A Cuban army officer had even been court-mar- tialed for not breaking them up vigor- ously enough.

What of it? In your country politics is often the survival of the most cowardly. In a Latin country a man who gues into politics has got to have manhood,” There’s something to that!

Airplane transportation companies are being projected in various communities and agents for foreign airplane makers are on the job. Lack of funds is the only dampen- ing influence and this is being in part overcome by governmental appropria- tlons, stock sclling schemes and public subscription. The Canton government is leading the way in China in development of aviation. Through its aviation bureau, manned by a score of American trained Chinese fiyers and training a hundred others who have never been out of China, the South China government has declared it intends to show China and the world &t large the un- limited possibilities for commercial avi- ation in Asia. The government at Nanking is also professing great interest in aviation.
